Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate

is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 10.00 $ 8.00
Direct labor cost per unit $ 3.00 $ 3.75
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.20 0.25
Number of units produced 10,000 40,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $336,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.(Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Mercon Wurcon
Unit product cost $ $
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 4,000 4,000 8,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.(Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Part 1

Computation of the unit product costs for the two products

                                                         Mercon              Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit         $ 10.00               $ 8.00

Direct labor cost per unit                 $ 3.00                $ 3.75

Overheads                                         $5.60                 $7.00

Unit product cost                             $18.60               $18.75

<u>Calculation of overhead rate</u>

M = 0.20 × 10,000   = 2,000

W = 0.25 × 40,000 = 10,000

Total hours                       = 12,000

Rate = $336,000 ÷  12,000

        = $28.00

Part 2

Overhead rate for direct labor-hours

Rate = $168,000 ÷ 12,000

        = $14.00

Overhead rate for engineering design time

Rate = $168,000 ÷ 8,000

        = $21.00

Computation of the unit product costs for the two products

                                                         Mercon              Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit         $ 10.00               $ 8.00

Direct labor cost per unit                 $ 3.00                $ 3.75

Overheads - labor hrs                       $2.80                 $3.50

Overheads - eng time                       $8.40                  $2.10

Unit product cost                             $24.20               $17.35

Laguna Print makes advertising hangers that are placed on doorknobs. It charges $0.04 and estimates its variable cost to be $0.0
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Break-even point= 150,000 hangers

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It charges $0.04 and estimates its variable cost to be $0.01 per hanger. Laguna’s total fixed cost is $4,500 per month.

To calculate the number of hangers we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 4,500 / (0.04 - 0.01)= 150,000 hangers

Differential Analysis

                                                          Make            Buy

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

<u>Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22   </u>

<u>Total                                                   $ 67              $62   </u>

<u />

The company should buy the bottles from the  outside source because the manufacturing costs are higher than the purchasing costs and the fixed costs.

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

Far Horizons, Inc. has experienced a lot of absenteeism and turnover among employees, particularly among ethnic and religious mi
ycow [4]

Answer:

Option D. Adjust working hours to accommodate workers' personal needs.

Explanation:

The reason is that discrimination is treating an employee unfairly on basis of employee's religion, color, etc. and treating them by implementation of policies would not make it violate the discrimination act if the company is already struggling hard to better manage the people by adjusting worker's personal needs which means now if they still are absent then they are accountable for their unethical deeds.
